April Blog Poems

Living on Pacific Time

I'm living on Pacific Time
not Mountain Time
so please don't call me
before 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time
unless we're related
and it's an emergency.

2

It's the first Saturday in April
a day of bright sunshine
a to celebrate of achievement.

3

On the first Saturday in April
I contemplate
all my achievements for the week.

4

It's Monday afternoon in Las Vegas
I'm just cooling down
and transforming
from a bitch
to a fairly rested person,
however, my mood may change again
if I get pissed off.

5

On Tuesday afternoon
in my neighborhood
the temperature rose
to 87 degrees.

6

Is my life boring?
My muse finds it exciting:
I like the people.

7

Poetry writing
the neighbor's dog is barking
interrupts contemplation

8

At the end of a productive week
I say a prayer of thanksgiving
for all the writing I've accomplished.

9

For the coming week
another 1,000 plus word story
and several more poem.

10

Not a blue Monday
A day spent on reviewing
And encouragement

11

Not a blue Monday
With a mostly cloudy sky
Promising more rain.

12

When will the wind blow
Today is calm and sunny
Without any clouds

13

Will the rain return
Cooling the late spring air
Making it muggy

14

This afternoon winds
Will increase in Las Vegas
Will the wind bring rain

15

It's Thursday,
a beautiful Las Vegas day
a day to give thanks.

16

Thankful for flip flops
and a new phase of my life
summer is coming.

17

Sunset approaches
transforming blue afternoon
into black velvet.

18

I love evening in Las Vegas.
It is a time for me to relax,
take a deep breath
and recount the good events
of the day.

19

Creation Saturday
the day my muse takes a walk
not down memories lane
but across the internet to find
a new subject to use to create
a story, poem, or blog entry.

20

What will you create
on Creation Saturday?
A poem,
a new sandwich,
a story,
a new coffee creation
with chocolate
or some other
exotic flavor.

21

Muse Meanderings
Skipping through various themes
Looking for something to write

22

A used recliner
No use purchasing one new
When a used one works as well

23

Monday afternoon
My muse working overtime
Does not want to rest.

24

Difficult to eat
and use a keyboard
at the same time.

25
Tuesday Afternoon: A Poem

Tuesday afternoon
Las Vegas temperatures rise
Ice cream truck drive past

Tuesday afternoon
Memories of my childhood
Accompany the music
Of the ice cream truck

26

Beautiful Wednesday
the temperature is about
eighty-six degrees

27

On Thankful Thursday
I contemplate gratitude,
as I listen to traffic.

28

Where are nature's sounds?
Sometimes I hear singing birds,
Cooing of pigeons.

29

Tourist see the strip
they seldom leave the city
visit the suburbs.

30

A creative week
Seven days equals seven poem
Is not a record

31

Another story done
Thirty-five left to complete
A very good week

32

Weekend afternoon
Listening to a neighbor's dog barking
Neighbor's laughing

33

Childhood memories
Return when I listen
To happy noises.

34

Death will take us all
Eventually
Fear is a
Form of
Death

35

Some days I don't want to write,
But I write anyway.
